Introducing GLP-1 Support: Helping You Take Control

Introducing GLP-1 Support: Helping You Take Control https://ift.tt/zt6MWqy

GLP-1s are changing the weight-loss conversation in a big way. For many people, they can feel like a long-awaited breakthrough—especially for those who feel like they’ve tried time and time again to reach their weight loss goals but have struggled for traction.

But adding a prescription medication to your journey is a major decision, and if you’re using—or considering—a GLP-1, you may have already realized that it’s not always as simple as “take the medication, lose the weight.” Appetites and food preferences can change. Energy and mood can fluctuate. Certain foods feel better than others (at different times, even) (1, 2). And managing all of that—your meals, your medication, how you feel—can sometimes feel overwhelming.

That’s where we come in.

We believe nutrition tracking takes on a fresh importance when you’re on a GLP-1. When your food intake changes, your nutritional needs change with it—and mindful choices that complement your medications become key to helping you feel stronger, more energized, and more in control.

And to give you even more confidence-boosting control over your GLP-1 journey, we’re excited to introduce GLP-1 Support: a single seamless place in the app to help you keep your medications—and your goals—on track.

Log your entire weight loss journey in one place*

You’re already keeping track of your meals, your macros, your progress in MyFitnessPal. Now you can log your GLP-1 therapy in the same place. 

With GLP-1 Support, you can track important information like medication, dosage, injection site, and timing without having to bounce between different apps or trying to mentally piece things together later. Everything lives in one place, giving you a clearer, more complete picture of your entire goal-getting journey.

Stay consistent with custom medication reminders*

Consistency matters—and that’s as true for your medications as it is for nutrition tracking. GLP-1s work best when taken as prescribed, but life gets busy: daily routines shift, our time (and brains!) fill up, and it’s easy to lose track.

That’s why we’ve added custom reminders to help you stay on schedule. Set reminders personalized to your routine, so your medication becomes a seamless part of your weekly rhythm—not something you have to remember, second-guess, or worry about.

Track how you feel—and start connecting the dots**

Our bodies are amazing. They have so much to tell us when we pause to listen to the way we feel—and GLP-1 journeys come with feelings a-plenty. Some days you might feel great: more in control around food, fewer cravings, more freedom from food noise. On others, you might cope with side effects like nausea, fatigue, or changes in digestion (3).

GLP-1 Support gives you a place to track it all. Because your meds, nutrition, and the way your body responds are all connected. You might notice certain foods sit better than others. Or that hitting your protein goal helps with energy. Over time, patterns emerge. You begin to understand what’s working, and what might need adjusting.


Logging your side effects in MyFitnessPal also gives you a valuable record to share with your health care provider. It offers a record of how your body is responding to your therapy, and that record can help your doctor shape your treatment to work best for you.

However you’re getting there, we’re here for you

MyFitnessPal is here to help you reach your goals, pure and simple. Those goals come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the ways you reach them. 

Over the past 20 years, we’ve helped millions of people reach their weight loss goals. And while GLP-1 medications offer many people an exciting unlock to help them overcome obstacles in their way and find real progress, some important fundamentals remain the same:

• Quality, mindful nutrition is key to a health journey and to lifelong healthy habits (3, 4)
• Tracking builds consistency, accountability, and awareness.
  

And that’s exactly why we built GLP-1 Support: to meet you where you are—and to provide you with the tools, encouragement, and expertise to help you move forward with confidence.
